| Post subject: | Poll about Windows 7/8.x support |
This is this time in the viewers development when a decision must be made regarding old systems support... Today, this is about Windows 7 and 8.x support. LL's latest official viewers already dropped support since they have moved their build system to github, with newer third party libraries builds (among which CEF). For a couple releases already, the Cool VL Viewer has been using a newer CEF version that just cannot be built any more for anything else than Windows 10 and newer (see this announce), meaning Windows 7/8.x users won't have a functional web plugin any more. I could (at least for a few more more months), restore the compatibility by providing a way to reinstall the old CEF91-based plugin for Win7/8.x users (with the drawback that this old version is also full of dangerous/exploited vulnerabilities), but is this at all needed, i.e. how many of you are still running the viewer under Windows 7 or 8.x ? |

Since no one protested, I will assume nobody is running the viewer under Windows 7/8 any more... While the viewer itself is and will stay, for now, still compatible with these old Windows versions, CEF is not any more, but I will not bother to provide a separate web plugin overlay for Win 7/8. Thank you to everyone who voted for this poll ! |
